For my BSN program I am writing a cultural paper on Native Americans, and I'm having a hard time finding any information on their birthing beliefs/practices.

I did find one really good article, but it's more history than current. Does anyone know of where I can find this information?

Thanks!

Try a medline or ebsco search for Navajo childbirth. Look up Ursula Knoki-Wilson CNM; she's a medicine woman/CNM at Chinle (no longer in clinical practice from what I hear) and there's several articles featuring her. If you have access to these academic search engines, try anthropology. I've looked off and on for the same topic. You could also try google. There's not a lot out there about this topic. If you can move to work for example as a travel nurse, I suggest you work with the IHS, such as at Gallup and other facilities which have more of a traditional population; you can meet people with this knowledge who might be willing to share.
